My past week was mostly occupied by a trip to visit the new "smart gun" company Biofire. They have a product that is pretty well thought-out and very interesting, but I'm curious to see how people react to it. There's a lot of instinctive antipathy to technology in firearms, especially biometric authentication tech. But we will find out next week...

I also had Othais and Mae from C&Rsenal stop by to visit yesterday. We had a great time out at the range playing with weird shotguns and hand traps. There is video from that as well, but it may not be out for a few months...

When the police and military use them as service weapons, then and only then I might consider one.

I expect the blowback on any smart gun stuff will be intense, to say the least. So much so, that I'm not sure I would post it on YouTube for non-subscribers to see.

When I heard cross country road trip I started picturing Ian and Othias as Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo.

Are these the same people saying any gun laws are useless now because guns now exist everywhere that 3D printers do

Lance Thundercock

No, we're saying the way most governments implement gun control is fundamentally immoral and indefensible. Also, the Shinzo Heater requires no 3D printing, you could make a gun like that in the 1950s with a trip to just about any hardware store in the world.

You can argue that rights in fact exist and that states shouldn't violate them, but people have been doing that all along and it is known by now to fall on deaf ears. It's better to argue that laws based on possession of something so easily made literally just rely on people abiding by the honour system and that there then is no use in passing further laws of this type. So laws requiring everyone to have smart guns aren't necessarily coming.

This can only be bad. Even if it is never perfected it will be used by the anti-gunners to further harass lawful gun owners. Remember Micro Stamping? Require guns to stamp a unique mark on all fired cartridge cases. Require manufacturers to maintain a file of fired cases for every gun they produce. Adds much to the cost to consumers with no apparent good. New York included a Micro Stamping provision in it's infamous SAFE Act. Crime has doubled since then. Trust me, anti gun lunatics will demand this on all guns made as soon as possible. Then just a short jump to banning all non-conforming guns.

I did a quick BioFire search. Apparently it is fingerprint recognition based. I think the fact that Apple has been there, done that, and moved on will kill that idea.

What a waste of time. New Jersey is a lost shithole, like California. Really, F them. Smart guns are Not... If the gun only can be shot by me and I go down, can my wife or son pick it up and return fire? In Police or LEA use-cases, can a comrade pick up my weapon and return fire if their weapon goes down?

Jeff Price

But you have to know everyone who might ever come to your side "a moi legionnaire!" in advance... Well intentioned I am sure. But, a bad idea well implemented is still a bad idea...

Jeff Price

...and with the legislative tripwires that this can trigger, it is a bad idea to pursue it.

I understand the objections, and obviously it's not suitable for everyone - but this, very importantly, is no longer one of them. There is no legislative tripwire that this triggers.

Jeff Price

I think you are being generous to the control freaks. I think they let go of the mandate because it doesn't exist anyway. The existence of this technology will lead to mandates. Look at the ossified gun list in California, mandated forever... Stupid is the strongest force in the universe. It is everywhere all the time like entropy, always progressing.

Jeff Price

I am sorry for being so serious, but working inside the Beltway, is a stupid-fertile environment, the amount of stupid is just endless. If you give stupid a chance, it takes hold and grows...

Jeff Price

and "not suitable for everyone" in a weapon system, means "not suitable"... :)

bet the visit from the se was fun.

Cannot wait for the shotgun stuff
